Period 1 (Nicollette K.) Q: Who moved to the Lancaster and York area?
A: The German and Scots-Irish. This is why we're called Pennsylvania Dutch. The southern part of the county is Scots-Irish. They came to an uncleared land and the only paths available were only Indian paths. Many English settled along the Codorus Creek. The Native Americans and colonists were on friendly terms before the French and Indian War.
Q: What was the Great Awakening?
A: The Church Leaders, like the Puritans, started having different views and stopped coming to church. They were told they should come to church or they would go to hell. The Great Awakening is a reaction to the Enlightenment. Ben Franklin was part of the Enlightenment and many important colleges were made from it.
Great Awakening
-Religion
-Emotion
-Revival
-Change
Overall, the Great Awakening was about faith and the Enlightenment was about reason. It was Faith vs. Reason.

January 25th, 2010 Topic: Chapter 3: Settling the Northern Colonies Notes/Description:
Period 1 (Dan E.)
Difference between a Pilgrim and a Puritan: -Puritans didn’t want to separate from Church of England -Pilgrims were the more “radical” of the two Columbus and Pilgrim comparison: -Although they killed many natives, they both had “good intentions” in their minds and believed what they were doing was for the glory of God. -Their European/English beliefs (the mindset that they can do pretty much whatever they want) carried over with them to the New World. -They might find their actions honorable, but there are two sides to every story!!!!!
Interesting Points on “The Truth about the First Thanksgiving” Article -Thanksgiving (or a harvest celebration) was actually celebrated by the natives many years before the Pilgrims
-The written history of the Pilgrims voyage and the first Thanksgiving is clouded with the “good things” because Americans don’t ant to make themselves look bad. This refers back to the fact that there are to sides to every story.
Specifics on Puritan/Pilgrim beliefs
-Elect- are people who have had a “Conversion Experience”. They must be tested by the church to see if there experience was legitimate. If named an elect, they are allowed to vote on social/political/religious matters.
-Only the elect were considered part of the church. All the “un-elect” members were called the congregation.
-The child of an elect would about 90% of the time become an elect themselves
-Elect could be removed from the position of an elect if their actions were deemed unworthy of the Grace of God.
-Because the elect were an “inner circle” of people, their numbers decreased dramatically over time. (More on this in a later class period.)
Opposition to Puritan beliefs
-Anne Hutchinson- Believed that if one was truly pre-destined to be saved by God (a so called “elect”) that they should be allowed to do whatever they wanted because they are already saved. This idea is known as Antinomianism. -Those who challenged Puritan beliefs were banished from the colony, which led to the colonization of Rhode Island.
Essential Question of articles read at the end of class- “How were the actions of Puritans in everyday society typical of all settlers?”
-Although the Puritans are perceived as very strict people who enjoyed nothing about everyday life and only focused on religion and work, this opinion is somewhat false. Puritans did engage in things such as sex as long as the persons were married.
-There was also a lot of crimes committed, indicating that the society wasn’t “perfect”.
-Everything was allowed, as long as it was done for the Glory of God.
Extra Notes
-Articles such as the Silas Deane article- Develop ideas thoroughly through use of ideas presented in thesis statement.
-Columbus Viewpoint Paragraph- Use bullet points from your diagram to create a well developed (AP class worthy) opinion on why you believe as you do. Also use bullets to develop a thesis statement to reinforce your viewpoints.
-On tests/quizzes- be careful of questions presented with an “except” at the end. These can be tricky due to the way they are worded.

Topic: Chapter 3- Settling in the Northern Colonies
Period 3- Taylor B. Notes: The Puritans
-a group of "Calvinists" that broke away from Protestants
-Pilgrims (Seperatists)- more extreme; their goal was to break away from the Church of England
-Puritans (Non-Seperatists)- wanted to reform the Church of England by decatholicizing.
-Seperatists and Non-Seperatists were religious and not politcal.
-Great Puritan Migration (1629)- There was fear in England of Puritans being persecuted, so they left to go to New England (20,000 people) and West Indies(70,000 people).
-The Pilgrims were Puritans, but not all Puritans were Pilgrims.
First Thanksgiving
-It was surprising of how the Puritans used the Indians to survive.
-The U.S. had taken credit for the first Thanksgiving when Indians had been celebrating autumn harvest feasts before the Puritans came.
-Class poll- Did the Puritans need the Indians more, or did the Indians need the Puritans more?
-Result of class- Puritans needed Indians more, because the Indians taught them to survive and gave them what they needed.
-Mr. Wimmer's Point- The Native Americans knew of outsiders, and the Wampanoag tribe had deceased from disease. So when Squanto and the other few left from the tribe met the Puritans, they needed them because of their decreased population. All in all, each benefited from the other. -Question: Shouldn't it have gone against the Pilgrim's religious beliefs to dig up graves? -Answer: It should have, but it must be remembered that only 40% of the population were Pilgrams. The other 60% was not. Explanation on Bible Commonwealth
-The New England colonies depended on religion, especially the Massachusetts Bay area. Everyone looked up to the religious priests, and the government was judged by The Bible. It dictated the growth of the colonies. Explanation of King Philip
-His real name was Metacom, and he was the son of Massasoit. His signifacance was that he coordinated attacks on the English in the 1675-1676. Importance of William Bradford and John Winthrop
-Both of these men were responsible for building political stability in the Massachusetts Bay. Importance of Thomas Hooker
-He helped draft the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, which became very important when creating other documents and constitutions. His doings set initiative in the colonies.
